There are certainly no question marks regarding Porter's physical tools. At 6'8'' with broad, basketball shoulders, Porter has plenty of room for additional bulk. Right now he's a tad on the skinny side, but it doesn't affect his ability to play on the interior. He has a tremendous wingspan that he uses to grab loose balls and finish around defenders.

Porter is also incredibly mobile, with the ability to get up and down the floor or get to the rim from the perimeter. If he were an airplane, the worst kind of turbulence wouldn't knock him off his path.

Getting to Know Otto Porter

He didn't play AAU hoops in high school, and he joined Georgetown as a multi-dimensional role player, so Porter has the mental approach to humbly bring his club whatever it needs.

Expect him to be a focused defender, an efficient offensive component and a terrific teammate.

NBA Player Comparison

Porter's defensive prowess and swingman versatility reminds us of Tayshaun Prince in his prime. If Porter can maximize his potential, he could be a key two-way player just like the former Pistons standout.

His basement would be a defensive role player like ThaboSefolosha, although their shooting styles are different.

Pro Predictions

Don't expect Porter to be massively productive right out of the gate, but his length, defensive versatility and basketball IQ will provide an impact.

Because you can plug him into several types of lineups, Porter could be a critical player in the rotation. He shouldn't need a whole lot of grooming offensively but his three-point shot needs significant development and his ball-handling could use some work.

Within a couple years, Porter may be a third- or fourth-best option on a strong playoff unit.
